the surprise.... was love.

Mr. James! You are an enormous inspiration to me. Love the music, you guys flow so well together, you've become my most reliable live show by FAR. From Bonnaroo to what seemed like a high school auditorium in NC, i am electrified watching you guys. Also looking forward to your solo stuff coming out soon. oh, thats right, questions, sorry. answer as many as you feel like.

-I love the wails and screams you deliver in songs like Gideon and Wordless Chorus. Reminds me of Robert Plant. Did you have to work on that a lot before it came out like that, or did it just explode out of you during practice one day?

-What music are YOU listening to recently? I'm always looking for new things to listen to, and a suggestion from yourself would be greatly appreciated.

• How long have you been growing that beard?

-I was pleasantly surprised when i saw you singing in the Bob Dylan inspired film I'm Not There with Calexico. Have you had a cameo in any other works/interested in doing more?

-Any plans on the next full band album once the solo project is done? Also are more tour dates going to be released in the future? Come to NC again!

-You inspired me to get an Omni Chord and i've had a lot of fun experimenting, never seen anything like it. Are there any other lesser known instruments that you guys use or have laying around?

That's about it, glad to hear you were doing an AMA, Anyway, THANK YOU FOR DOING WHAT YOU DO. I hope to see you rocking for years to come! Also the rest of your band, because i don't think they get enough credit, and they Fucking Rock.

Hey! a big thank you!

Also excited for Grimm Fairy tales. which is still happening right?

Right?

I'll be spreading the word, expectations high!

i could not be more pleased with this answer.
